    I enjoyed my 3 hrs in line at Rennsport. I took some picture's, some video, met new people, overall lots to stay entertained while in line, but I as in line at the right time and caught the opening ceremony. Plenty of time left for watching (and photographing) the cars, but did that around the track not in the grandstands. I think that the Sally Carrera and Transformers were there for the kids, so for folks bringing their families, there was something for everyone, even the younger kids. I think it is good branding on Porsche part building interest at every age.

      The XJS has the same GM gearbox (T400) as an automatic. It's the same as any Chevy of the era to run a 5 speed. The Brakes you want are the 90s 4.0 V8 x308.
      There is a guy in Norway, Mobeck Techiske who makes ECUs for the XJS that works.

    • @dinguslopper
      @dinguslopper 7 місяців тому

      also, if you think apologizing is lame- some kind of automatic sign of weakness or subservience- then I regret informing you that, at this time, you are really very, very bad at analyzing the way the world around you actually is and works. I say this mindful of the fact that you probably think you're great at it and so assume i'm just trying to make you mad or some nonsense like that.
      this is not your fault, nor does it change the fact that you're still likely among the top single-digit percentile of bright motherfuckers in the world.
      modern times've made online people really shit at communicating in written form, so this is gonna probably sound like I'm trying to insult you again or some shit; nevertheless, on the off-chance you're one of the weird nerds like myself who has half a shot at actually internalizing this in a way that'll make a difference, here goes the following:
      your insecurity has hamstrung your ability to do the most interesting and rewarding thing for someone with a big fuckin' freak-ass outlier of a human brain between their ears to do with their life, to wit: building and updating an accurate mental model of the world.
      I'll only add (this is *not* a parting shot!) that the ability to change this situation from a purely internal, mental standpoint is-- though it sounds like Bullshit-- way, way higher than you would ever guess and it's never too late to start.
